I thank you

When dusk whittles the day
down to mere shadows
you crawl into the bottomless pockets
of my fantasies
inflaming the edges of craving
awakening sleepy longing
you measure my meaning
not with syllables
but with sensations
          oui, mon amour
with the lyrical elegance of a kiss
you help me tattoo the naked page
and I thank you

I love the idea of bottomless pockets of fantasy!! Tattoo the naked page! There is so much to be said about the lovely flow of this poem. I am especially satisfied with the unity of the theme. All too often I find poems stray from the main topic. This one remains intimately, intensely focused on its object of affection, and I believe that is the best one can do in writing!

Lydi, you are simply an amazing writer and I would LOVE to read any books you put out.

This is so fantastic, the weaving of words to create such depth, such fluidity.

Fan for life

I am humbled by your wonderful review. Thank you. My book is entitled, "Butterflies of My Soul" and was published way back in 2005. My style has changed through the years. There are many poems on this site to read! I appreciate your kindness. lydi**

Strong poetry, Lydi. Your imagery, as usual, is striking - it "tattoos" itself on your readers' minds.

of my fantasies
